What heat wrap for your hotside? What heat wrap do you all prefer for your hot side parts? Or are they all pretty much the same?
I am wanting to keep things as cool as possible for my build. I definitely want to utilize a turbo blanket. I was thinking of going with the thermal zero one (, http://www.thermalzero.com/index.php...category_id=34) but am open to suggestions or other ways to keep things cool under the hood.

At looking at the best between both companies for the turbo blanket (Lava rock);
The PTP turbo blanket is good to 2300 degrees interior and 2500 degrees exterior and is $300
The Thermal Zero turbo blanket is good to 2400 degrees interior and 3000 degrees exterior and is $250.
So the Thermal Zero unit seems a better buy with greater heat capability at a cheaper price.
As far as the wrap goes, the DEI titanium wrap seems cheaper and available more places with an 1800 degree continuous ability and a limited ability up to 2500 degrees. The thermal zero lava wrap is more expensive but handles up to 3000 degrees (not sure if this is continuous or not).
I also don't know if just because it can handle higher temps if its ability to insulate that heat is specifically better than the lower temp wrap, but it would seem like it should.
